註釋'Vera Colebrook paints a fascinating picture of a brave and very strong-willed woman, a born rebel, who all her life (1829-1895) fiercely resented the middle class Victorian assumption that all women were intellectually inferior to men. The story recounted from Ellen's own diaries is a compassionate one of her none to happy marriage during which she has a short lived but tender love affair and has to endure the tragic drowning of her youngest son.*Ellen is also a valuable source of social life in nineteenth century Britain, of day-to-day life on an emigrant sailing ship bound for New Zealand in 1859 and of the development of New Zealand as Ellen saw it from the middle of the nineteenth century - the life of the early settlers, the Maori uprisings, the threat of attack on Auckland.'--Publisher's blurb.
